In 2018, Genevieve Hegney and her writing partner Catherine Moore were commissioned by Ensemble Theatre to write a play based on a TV script they had been shopping around. Hegney and Moore co-wrote and performed in Unqualified and the show was both a critical and commercial success. Catherine and Genevieve were commissioned to write a sequel, Still Unqualified which was performed in September 2022 and enjoyed equal success and praise. They have recently received funding from Screen West and Screen Australia to adapt Unqualified for television.

They are currently working on a new commission for Ensemble, about the trailblazing aviatrix, Deborah Lawrie, Fly Girl, which is programmed as part of Ensemble’s 2025 season. Fly Girl recently won the Blake Beckett Trust Female Playwrights Award. Catherine and Genevieve are also in the process of contracting with a prominent production company to adapt Fly Girl into a TV series. 

Genevieve also co-wrote, produced and acted in the short film The Amber Amulet. This adaptation of the Craig Silvey novella won numerous awards worldwide, including the 2013 Crystal Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival and won her an AWGIE for Best Screenplay in a Short Film.
